How easy is it to take my old GTI badge off and put this new on? I cant imagine they just peel off do they?

howdie dude, its really easy! jus get an old credit card or something similar with no numbers e.t.c pokin out, stick it behind the badge n carefully push (there will b a noise but its only the glue peelin) then once its off get abit of cleaner n buff it up  :laugh:

Might help to use a hairdryer on hot to soften the gluey stuff?

Dont have the red I on my Turbo though but prefer all silver anyway :wink:

I really wanted to get the 20VT badge off a Seat Cupra. Always checking E-gay but they seem pretty rare. I guess they would be quite pricey from a Seat dealer.

Are there no websites like VWSpeed that sell things like that for Seats?

Hairdryer to loosen the glue as stu says, and then gently work your way around the top end with a plastic window ice scraper (credit card may work just as well, but I've not tried it). Once you can get a hold underneath with your finger lever it off whilst using a slim piece of cardboard under the bottom end of the letter to protect the paintwork. Once they're off apply a light dab of white spirit onto a piece of kitchen roll and get the sticky residue off. wipe off the white spirit immediately this has been done and apply polish to re-protect the surface. Apply the new decals at your liesure :nerd:

Surely you only need to take the silver 'i' off.

But as stated its a piece of cake  :smiley:
